wear a shirt over it. or anything to cover
You physically CAN, but I wouldn't... I wouldn't swim in anything only a day after. They can get infected by your clothes rubbing against them, I wouldn't chance a dip in fish poo infested water. It's not a good idea. You're almost certain to get an infection. I am lifeguard and a competative swimmer so I had to get back in the water within a week of piercing my belly button. I recommened using Tagaderm which is a clear bandage that moves with your skin and will protect it from anything in the water. You can get it from any Rite Aid or Walgreens type store in the bandaid department.
above ground pool walls have insulation in them
Im not quite sure what a sulfur pool is. but i wouldn't recommend it, the chemicals in the pool are prob gunna do nothing but bad for your tattoo.
Hartke Pool
Gaelic, which is the language spoken in Ireland, for swimming pool is: Linn Snámha.
you cant
At three months the piercing should be healed, at least mostly. That means that swimming in chlorine will not affect it. Still steer clear of lakes and streams.
2-3 months. Don't swim in pools, oceans, lakes, or anything else. Yes, the ocean has salt in it but it's also FILLED with germs. Swimming with a new piercing is just begging for an infection.
No you have to wait 6 weeks with any peircing :)
You don't have to. Pools contain chlorine. The chlorine actually prevents infection.
Steven Hehr - His belly button has been known to hold upward of 1.50 in quarters. In his youth, while lounging in a pool, he would fill his belly button with water and use it as an ash tray. This was before his belly button expanded to it's freakishly large size as can be seen today. If you ever wish to see his naval, all you need to do is ask. He relishes in the attention he gets from his gargantuan crater of a belly button.
I don't really think so, chlorine isn't good for a piercing (if you're swimming in a pool) and salt water, even though helps heal and get rid of infection for piercings, can always have a lot of bacteria in it (and fish poop). My suggestion is, don't go swimming until it's fully healed (which can take 6-12 months to heal unfortunately :/).

Waterproof Protection Don't expose your piercing to a hot tub, pool, lake, ocean, or any body of water, even if it seems clean. The chemicals in heavily chlorinated pools could be as damaging as the microorganisms and dirt in natural bodies of water. Protect your piercing with a Nexcare Waterproof Bandage, a Tegaderm Transparent Dressing, or similar covering. If you don't use a sealant bandage, then you should avoid submerging (or even splash- ing) your healing piercing.
Yes. It isn't really the chlorine that you should worry about. Its all of the other bacteria floating around in the pool.
Well I hide in the bottom of the Estate building, in the Pool Table section!
Yes but rinse the piercing out once you are done swimming.
